Mott Haven East Historic District 1 1
The Mott Haven East Historic District is lined with a small section of rowhouses like these on East 139th Street. The rowhouses of this historic district date back to the late 19th Century and make up one of the oldest settled areas of Bronx. #motthaven

Barber shop culture is still thriving in Mott Haven even if some of the barber shops are now unisex and "salons." #motthaven

St. Ann's Episcopal Church 1 1
St. Ann's cemetery is the resting place of Gouverneur Morris, a Founding Father of the U.S. who penned significant sections of the U.S. Constitution. All of Mott Haven was once owned by the Morris family. The church itself contains lovely stained glass from the 19th century. #motthaven

Street art on Alexander Avenue reflects the neighborhood of Mott Haven itself. A colorful wall mural of Mary in between Alexander Antique Shop and a tattoo parlour.

Run by The New York Restoration Project, this garden of welcoming color is truly the people's garden. Any member of the community can request the idyllic spot for an event so long as the event is open to all. #motthaven
